MOS-ONLY AUTOMATION TECHNIQUE WITH AN EXEMPLARY MOS-ONLY BP/LP AGILE FILTER DESIGN

In this work, a systematic of the automation in the result of the re-obtained small signal parameters based on SPICE and CADENCE-SPECTRE is presented for MOS-Only circuits. Accuracy of the re-obtained parameters was improved by re-formulating in the basis of SPICE and CADENCE-SPECTRE. Moreover, piece-wise polynomial regressive models are presented for gm ,gds and Ids . Also, performance of the models is compared with conventional expressions. Success of the given MOS-Only design automation based on re-obtained small signal parameters is verified with an exemplary new agile filter.

Keywords:

MOS-Only, polynomial SPICE, CADENCE-SPECTRE,
